Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Shelton, CT.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shelton provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
