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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oshkosh offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
