Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Jerome, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jerome provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
