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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Girdwood provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo 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 detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
