Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tucson offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
