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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Middlebury offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
