Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wartrace offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
