Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ogdensburg, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ogdensburg offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
