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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ojibwa provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
