Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Highland, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highland offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
