Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Garner, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Garner provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
