Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Goodfield offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
