Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sheridan, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sheridan offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
