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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Paul Smiths offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
