Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Berkshire, VT.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Berkshire offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox 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.
