Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Stormville, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stormville offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
