Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Brooklyn, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooklyn provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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