Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Portage, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Portage offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
