Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lake Lafayette, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Lafayette offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
