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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairfax provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
