Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Winkelman, AZ.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winkelman provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
