Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Oakville, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakville provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
