Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cedar Springs, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cedar Springs provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
