Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Block Island, RI.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Block Island provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
