Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Minong, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Minong provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease 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. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease 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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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