Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wayne provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
