Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Valdez provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox 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 that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
