Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Aurora, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Aurora provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
