Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Big Bend, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Big Bend provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
