Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bethlehem, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bethlehem provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
