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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stambaugh offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing 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 may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
