Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Millerton, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millerton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
