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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Plymouth offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
