Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Penngrove offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
