Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ellington, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ellington offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
