Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Monroe City, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monroe City provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
