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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wixom provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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