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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Earlham provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
