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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Haverhill offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
