Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stitzer provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has a history 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
