Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Heartwell offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
