Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monongahela provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
