Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Queensbury, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Queensbury offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
