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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sergeant Bluff provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
