Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chattahoochee provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised 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 remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
