Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgeport offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
