Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Marquette, IA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marquette provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
