Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alexandria provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
