Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ames, NE.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ames provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
