Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Palmer, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Palmer provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
