Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Providence provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
