Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richlandtown provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
