Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Eldorado, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eldorado provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
