Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lowville, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowville provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in 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 stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
