Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lehigh, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lehigh provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
