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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hugoton offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
