Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orrs Island provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
