Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in El Paso provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
