Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Canaan, NH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canaan provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
