Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gloucester offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
