Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Indianola, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Indianola provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
