Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Key Colony Beach provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
