Will I Go Through Detox While in an Inpatient Rehab?
Each inpatient rehab facility is different, some do include detox in their patient’s treatment plans. The detoxification process will cleanse the body of the chemicals and toxins associated with drug or alcohol use. The detox process occurs in the beginning stages of treatment, where you will withdraw from the effects of drugs or alcohol. Your Doctor may prescribe you medication during this time to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms and allow you to detox more comfortably.
Some patients may require more services during detox than the inpatient rehab can provide. You may be admitted to a hospital to go through a rapid detox process to ensure your health and safety. You will then return to the inpatient treatment facility once you are over the initial withdrawal period.
