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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Butternut provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
