Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Orrick, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orrick provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
