Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Whitten, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitten provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
