Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Meredith, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Meredith provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
