Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Scranton, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scranton provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
