Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Slate Hill, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Slate Hill offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
