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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Auburn provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would 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 rehabilitation in itself.
