Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kalkaska, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kalkaska provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
