Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cornwall, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cornwall offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
