Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Edgewater, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edgewater offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
