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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elk City offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
