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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clayton provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
