Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sageville offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
