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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Garrison offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
