Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harriman offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
