Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Utica provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely 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) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 health.
For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
