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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Syosset offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
