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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pelican Lake provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
