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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Manchester provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
