Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Range, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Range provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
