Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Dunlap, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dunlap provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
