Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Salisbury Center, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Salisbury Center offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
