Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Promise City, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Promise City provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
