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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pelican provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
