Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Farnham, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Farnham offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
