Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Remsen, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Remsen offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
