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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Macedonia provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
