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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Columbia provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
