Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Potosi, WI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Potosi provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
