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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stoddard provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
