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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Superior offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
