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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chester provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
