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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Braddyville offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
