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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowell provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
