Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cobalt, CT.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cobalt offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
