Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Salem, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Salem provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
