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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fagus provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
