Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wyatt, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wyatt offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
