Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Phoenix offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual 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 work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
