Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Montgomery, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Montgomery provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
