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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kerhonkson offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
