Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canada provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
