Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Jamesport, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Jamesport offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
