Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Flushing, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Flushing offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
