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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Renwick offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
