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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Spey offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
