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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cedar Rapids offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
