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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Macedon offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
