Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - American Falls, ID.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in American Falls provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 drug they are detoxing 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
