Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Smethport offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
