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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thayer offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
