Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Altus AFB, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Altus AFB offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
