Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Viroqua, WI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Viroqua provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
