Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burlington Junction, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burlington Junction offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
