Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Salem, CT.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Salem offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe 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 prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
