Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alton, NH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alton offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
