Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Firth, ID.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Firth offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
