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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Overbrook offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 drug they are detoxing 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 treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
