Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Olathe, KS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olathe offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
