Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Easton, KS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Easton offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
