Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fairwater, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairwater provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
