Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arion, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arion provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
