Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ladysmith provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
