Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sparks, NV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sparks provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
