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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Defiance provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
