Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boonville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
