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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ollie provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
