Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lackawanna, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lackawanna offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
