Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fox Valley offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
