Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cuba provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
