Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Houstonia, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Houstonia offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
