Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Genesee provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
