Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Woodbridge, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodbridge offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
