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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Windsor provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
