Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lewis, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lewis provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
