Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Deep River, CT.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Deep River provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
