Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Americus provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 been struggling 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 rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
