Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Willow Springs, 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 a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Willow Springs offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
