Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chula, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chula provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
