Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greene offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
