Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bowmanstown, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bowmanstown provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
