Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lincoln, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
