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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ireton provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
