Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Tiffin, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tiffin offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
