Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Ross offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
