Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kingston, NH.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kingston offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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