Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Fabius, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fabius offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
