Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Weston, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Weston provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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