Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kensett, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kensett offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
