Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hillsborough, NJ.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hillsborough provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
