Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Port Leyden, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Leyden provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
