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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Michigamme offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
