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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Christiana provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
