Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pomfret Center, 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 several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pomfret Center offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
