Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wikieup, AZ.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wikieup provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (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 diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
