Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Smithfield offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
