Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lennon, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lennon provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
