Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carleton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
