Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Glastonbury, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glastonbury provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
