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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schofield offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
