Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Otley, IA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Otley provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a history 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 treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
