Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Robins, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Robins provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
