Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fort Huachuca, AZ.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Huachuca offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
