Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Jerico Springs, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jerico Springs provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
