Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenville, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greenville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
