Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - The Lakes, NV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in The Lakes provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
