Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gorham, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gorham provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
