Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - East Schodack, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Schodack provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
