Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Massapequa Park, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Massapequa Park provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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