Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Higbee, MO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Higbee offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
