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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairport provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
