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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Moorland offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
