Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chesterfield, NH.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chesterfield provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
