Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Britton, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Britton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
