Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Milledgeville offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual 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 center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
