Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Natrona Heights provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
