Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Arlington, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arlington provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
