Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fountain City, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fountain City offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
