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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pittsburg provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
