Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ackworth, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ackworth provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
