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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Duke provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
