Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Protivin, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Protivin offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
