Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Maplewood, WI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maplewood provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 a person who has a history 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 treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
