Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whiteclay provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
