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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Lotawana offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
