Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Chazy, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chazy provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
