Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Long Island City, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Long Island City provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
