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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilton offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
