Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sea Cliff, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sea Cliff offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
