Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - New Providence, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Providence provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
