Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Galena offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
