Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Union City, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Union City offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
