Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Alger, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alger provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
