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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clever offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
