Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hopkinton, 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 detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hopkinton offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
