Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brandon, VT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brandon offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
