Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mendenhall offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually 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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
