Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hopkins, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hopkins provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
