Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Burnham, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burnham offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
