Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Oakley, ID.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakley provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
