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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thetford Center offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
