Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Thornwood, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thornwood provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
