Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eastport offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
