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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Windsor offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
