Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shoreline offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
