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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gideon offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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