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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newton provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
