Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Barnstead, NH.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Barnstead offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
