Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alderson provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
