Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pasadena offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually 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 physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
