Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Rockport offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
