Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norway provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
