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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monmouth provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
