Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Medford, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Medford offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
