Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Marengo, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marengo offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
