Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - West Point, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Point offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
