Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Southbury, CT.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Southbury provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
