Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Walton, KS.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walton offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
