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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scotland provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
