Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waddell offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
