Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pike, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pike provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
