Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Burt Lake, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burt Lake offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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