Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Topeka provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
