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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chetek offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
