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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Windsor Heights offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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