Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bethlehem, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bethlehem provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
