Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Walnut Ridge, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walnut Ridge offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
