Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Merrimac, WI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Merrimac provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
