Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Center Point, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Center Point offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
