Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sumner, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sumner provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
