Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Union Pier, MI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Union Pier offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
