Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Perkinsville, VT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Perkinsville provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
