Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Southfield provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
