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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Melrose offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
