Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Centerbrook, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Centerbrook offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with 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 prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
