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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Radcliffe offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
