Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Empire, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Empire provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
