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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New London provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
