Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Stillwater, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stillwater offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
