Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Derby, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Derby provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
