Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fairbanks, AK.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairbanks offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification 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 subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
