Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Anamosa, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Anamosa offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
