Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Nellis AFB, NV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nellis AFB provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
