Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schodack Landing offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
