Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rutland, VT.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rutland offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
