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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Skagway provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
