Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lake Montezuma, AZ.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Montezuma provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
