Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Westfield, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westfield offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
