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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Widener offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
