Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Warren offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
