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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Roosevelt offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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