Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Whiteside, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whiteside provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
