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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gray provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
