Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Elk Run Heights, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elk Run Heights provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
