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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grinnell provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
