Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakeside offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
