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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Old Mystic provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
