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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Summit offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate 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 are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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