Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Graf, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Graf provides medically supervised detox, which is performed 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. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
