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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bellevue offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
