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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chelsea provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
