Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ireland provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (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 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
