Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dorchester, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dorchester offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
