Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Richwoods, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richwoods provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues 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 work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
