Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Reading, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Reading offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
