Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Northfield, CT.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Northfield provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
