Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bovina Center, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bovina Center provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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