Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Santa Fe, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Santa Fe provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
