Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Virginia City offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
