Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Birmingham, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Birmingham provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
