Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Newcomb, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newcomb provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
