Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Greendale, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greendale offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
