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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marshalltown offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
