Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Litchfield Park, AZ.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Litchfield Park offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
