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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waddington provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
