Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Grimes, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grimes offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
