Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brooklyn, 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 a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooklyn provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
