Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Olaf, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Olaf provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
