Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sunset Hills, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sunset Hills provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may 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 will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
