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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oxford offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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