Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Colfax, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Colfax offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
