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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tecumseh provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
