Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Olin, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olin provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
