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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Syracuse offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
