Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Island Pond, VT.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Island Pond provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would 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.
