Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - La Crosse, WI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Crosse offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
