Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashton provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
