Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Palo Alto offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history 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 recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
