Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bath, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bath provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
