Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oak Creek, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oak Creek provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
