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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Briggsville offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
