Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shelbyville offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
