Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mineral Point, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mineral Point provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
