Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Killington, VT.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Killington provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
