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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hills offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
