Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Milnor provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
