Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Merrimack, NH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Merrimack offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
