Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kimmswick, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kimmswick offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
