Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Dodge offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
