Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Colwell, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Colwell offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
