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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Islandia offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
