Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Phillipsburg provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
