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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spirit Lake offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
