Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Iron River, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Iron River provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
