Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shell Lake, WI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shell Lake offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process 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 medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
