Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Altona, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Altona provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
