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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Emerson offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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