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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Le Mars provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
