Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hillview offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
