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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ironwood provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
