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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kent offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
