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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clinton offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
