Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North Lawrence, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Lawrence provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
