Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rock Port, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rock Port offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
