Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Sunnyside, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sunnyside offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
