Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Griswold, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Griswold provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may 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 may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
