Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - West Shokan, NY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Shokan offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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 been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
