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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pollock offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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