Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cool Valley, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cool Valley offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through 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 typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
