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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ledyard offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
