Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Farnhamville, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Farnhamville provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
