Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bruce, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bruce provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
