Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lenoxville offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
