Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Oceanside, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oceanside provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe 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 medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
