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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Delaware provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
