Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Doon offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
