Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dewar, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dewar offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
