Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Stamps, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stamps provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
