Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bay City, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bay City offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
