Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Eagle, AK.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eagle provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
