Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Milford, NH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Milford provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
