Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in De Soto provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
