Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greensboro offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
