Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Norway, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norway provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
