Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Stockbridge, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stockbridge offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
