Recovery Cove is committed to making treatment accessible and affordable for those who are ready to start their journey. Below is more information on inpatient detox, its role in the recovery process, and how we can assist.
What Is Inpatient Detox?
Inpatient detox is a medically supervised process that helps individuals safely withdraw from drugs or alcohol in a structured, supportive environment. It is especially important for individuals who are detoxing from alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, as well as for those who are dealing with mental health challenges.
A detox facility provides 24/7 monitoring, medication management (if needed), emotional and psychological support, and a safe, substance-free environment. It’s important to note that detox is not treatment on its own. It is a critical first step in preparing your mind and body for long-term recovery, and then you can move onto a recovery program like Recovery Cove for ongoing counseling and support.
What Happens in Inpatient Detox?
Upon arrival at an inpatient detox facility, you’ll receive a full evaluation to ensure you receive the best care. This evaluation includes your substance use history, your physical and mental health, and any co-occurring conditions. You’ll likely be given medications to ease withdrawal symptoms like nausea, anxiety, insomnia, or cravings, especially for substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.
Nurses and doctors will regularly check your heart rate, blood pressure, and hydration levels to ensure your safety throughout the detox process. There are also counselors and support staff to offer reassurance and encouragement to help you stay calm and committed during difficult moments.
How long you stay at the facility depends on many factors, including the type of substance you are detoxing from and your overall mental and physical health. However, you can expect to spend about a week in an inpatient detox facility, giving you enough time to safely detox and prepare for counseling.
