Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pelham, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pelham offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
