Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gladstone offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
