Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitmer offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
