Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lewiston, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lewiston provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person 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 ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
