Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Merrill, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Merrill provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
