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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Londonderry offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
