Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ecorse, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ecorse offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
