Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edison offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification 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 detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
