Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Waurika, OK.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waurika provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose 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) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
