Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Algoma, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Algoma provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
