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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bryn Athyn offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
