Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pownal, VT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pownal offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
