Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alexander, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alexander offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
