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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elberon offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
