Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Caruthersville, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Caruthersville offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
