Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Ignace, MI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Ignace offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
