Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wheatley, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheatley offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
