Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Salem, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Salem offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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