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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monticello offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
