Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Collins, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Collins offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
