Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Waldo, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waldo provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
