Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alda offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
