Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Eldon, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eldon provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
