Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Grand Isle, VT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grand Isle provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
