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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodward provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
