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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Minden provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
