Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Center Cross provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
