Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Stockton, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stockton provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
