Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cedarhurst offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
