Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Princeton, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Princeton provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
