Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Miranda offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
