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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arlington provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
