Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Burns, KS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burns offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
