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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leadwood offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
