Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Schroon Lake, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schroon Lake offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
