Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Durham, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Durham provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
