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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodstock provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
