Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bayard provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone 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 ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
