Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tribune offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
