Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Afton provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
