Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Story City, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Story City provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through 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 discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
