Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Urbandale, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Urbandale provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
