Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Saginaw provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain 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 decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
