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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hepburn offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
