Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gene Autry, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gene Autry provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
