Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spring Lake provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual 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 detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
