Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Holy Cross, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Holy Cross offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
