Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Temple, NH.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Temple offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
