Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wittenberg, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wittenberg provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
