Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Helena provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
