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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Riverside offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
