Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burdett, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burdett offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental 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 rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
