Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Franconia offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
