Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Little Rock, SC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Little Rock provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 been struggling 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 recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
