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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Farmington offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
