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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canterbury offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
