Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Afton, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Afton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain 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 may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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