Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Silex, MO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Silex provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
