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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Haven offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
