Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mumford, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mumford offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 rehabilitation in itself.
