Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Strafford, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Strafford offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
