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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norwalk provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used 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 withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
