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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in McFarland provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
