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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scottville provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
