Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Carson, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carson provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
