Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gresham, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gresham offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
