Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hawkins, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hawkins offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
