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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Keene offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
