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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Miller Place offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
