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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woden offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
