Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Branch, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Branch offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
