Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sabula, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sabula provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
