Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pacific, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pacific offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
