Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Allenport offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
