Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Thor, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thor offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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