Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Reading, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Reading offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues 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 rehabilitation in itself.
