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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ward Cove offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
