Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Huntington, VT.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntington offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
