Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Washta, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Washta provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
