Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lincoln, RI.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
