Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Solon offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
