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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marathon provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help 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 may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
