Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pilot Station offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
