Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belfry offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with 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 uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history 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 treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
