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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Perryville offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
