Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Freeport, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Freeport provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
