Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Forest Lakes, AZ.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Forest Lakes provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
