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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hamden provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
