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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Luther provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
