Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pike, NH.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pike offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
