Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wakefield provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
