Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dickens, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dickens offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
