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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highland offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
