Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Billings, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Billings offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
