Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dunkerton, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dunkerton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
