Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Independence, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Independence provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
