Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edmeston provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease 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 subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
