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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakeview provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
