Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - South Richmond Hill, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Richmond Hill offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
