Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cornwall, CT.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cornwall provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
