Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Falmouth offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
