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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Beacon provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
