Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntsville provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
