Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Nashua, NH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting 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 Nashua offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
