Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Westside, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westside provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
