Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rodney provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 health.
For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
