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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hull provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
