Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pickens, OK.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pickens offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
