Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Velda Village Hills, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Velda Village Hills provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
