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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilmot provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
