Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Broadalbin, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Broadalbin provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
