Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kalona, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kalona offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
