Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lawrence, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lawrence provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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