Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bartlesville, OK.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bartlesville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
