Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Monticello, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monticello offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
