Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maury City offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
