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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burlington offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
