Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Providence, RI.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Providence offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
