Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Reynoldsville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (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 subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling 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 recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
