Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fort Leonard Wood, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Leonard Wood offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
