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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Portage offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
