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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Irwin provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
