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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kaiser offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
