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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Durham provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
