Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Johnson offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
