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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Hope provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
