Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lower Waterford, VT.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lower Waterford provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
