Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Circle, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Circle offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
