Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Callicoon Center, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Callicoon Center provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
