Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Iola, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Iola offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
