Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Breckenridge, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Breckenridge provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
