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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Springfield provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
