Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Whitefield, NH.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitefield provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized 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 withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
