Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hardy, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hardy provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
