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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burnside provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
