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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Doe Run provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
