Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thomaston offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
