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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Berlin offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
