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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Early provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
