Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - La Crosse, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Crosse offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
