Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Elk City, ID.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elk City offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
