Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kaltag, AK.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kaltag provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
