Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Scott City, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scott City provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used 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 withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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