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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wiseman provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
