Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Emmetsburg, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Emmetsburg offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
