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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chalfont provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
