Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Edmundson, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edmundson provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease 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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
