Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgeville offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
