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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harris provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
