Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Appleton, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Appleton offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 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 rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
