Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Virgil provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
