Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Waterford, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waterford offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
