Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - North Westchester, CT.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Westchester offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
