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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elberta provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using 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 suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
