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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Watkins provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
