Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Derby, KS.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Derby offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
