Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cataract, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cataract offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
