Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Subiaco offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
