Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Canaan, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canaan offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
