Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - McCausland, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in McCausland offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
