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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New London offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
