Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oregon House provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
