Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bristol, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bristol offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
