Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hereford provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
