Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - New Haven, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Haven offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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