Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Plymouth, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Plymouth offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
