Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Swanzey, NH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Swanzey offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
