Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alton, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alton provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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