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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grantham provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
