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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Covington provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
