Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Westmoreland, NH.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westmoreland offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
