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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grafton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
