Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bedminster, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bedminster provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised 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 detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 given that detox is not treatment in itself.
